Investigation of neuronlike photorefractive integrated structures based on ferroelectric crystals of lead magnesium niobate

Presently the creation of advanced computational means is closely connected with the development of neuron-like structures with the computation principle based on the dynamic evolution process of these structures under the input signal effect. There are numerous physical principles of implementation of neuron-like computational structures. However, the most promising is the creation of such structures on the optical principles basis. Such prospects are first of all related to the spatial character of the information transmitted by the optical radiation.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
